Harun Yahya-Adnan Oktar
             Allah says, “Do not take two gods. He is only One God. So
             dread Me alone.” (Surat an-Nahl, 51)
             Failing to do so not only makes human beings unhappy, it also
        a grave sin against Allah. To seek the pleasure of other beings apart

        from Allah is called in the Qur’an “ascribing partners to Allah.” One
        who ascribes partners to Allah chooses to worship a god other than
        Allah, and devoting himself to that god. But, they will encounter
        disappointment in the next world. Allah warns them so that they
        will not go to Hell and suffer repentance that will bring no respite.
             It has been revealed to you and those before you: “If you associ-
        ate others with Allah, your actions will come to nothing and you

        will be among the losers.”
             No! Worship Allah and be among the thankful. (Surat az-
             Zumar, 66)
             Allah does not forgive anything being associated with Him
             but He forgives whoever He wills for anything other than
             that. Anyone who associates something with Allah has
             committed a terrible crime. (Surat an-Nisa’, 48)
             Another thing that must be remembered is this: One may dedi-
        cate his entire life to the pleasure of others, abandoning Allah; in the

        Afterlife, however, it is He Who will abandon them. Everyone will
        be called to give account of the things he has done, and no one’s
        deeds will suffice to save another. This important fact is revealed in
        the Qur’an:
             Each of them will come to Him on the Day of Rising all
             alone. (Surah Maryam, 95)
             You have come to Us all alone just as We created you at

             first, leaving behind you everything We bestowed on you.
